I Like To Party

I've seen this scene 1,214 times and I still think it's the best scene of all-time:

Hokie Trailer

Being a Tech alum and astronomical Hokie fan, I felt the need to post the Hokie Trailer for all the fans of: Alabama, Marshall, Nebraska, Miami, Duke, Boston College, Georgia Tech, UNC, ECU, Maryland, NC State, and Uva.

Relevant.tv

So I posted a couple of videos from Relevant's newly revamped video playing site: relevant.tv earlier today. It's a great site for featuring new videos from artists, new or old. Knowing Relevant's high regard for good music they have and will be posting great stuff up there. Take for example what they have now: Mute Math, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Animal Collective, Ben Harper, etc... Good stuff, take a look.

Mute Math - "Spotlight"

Another great song and video from Mute Math (these guys are seriously good at making videos...if you don't believe me watch this)

Owl City - "Fireflies"

(anyone else think this guy sounds like a cross between Ben Gibbard and any punk singer?)

Project Natal

This is a real technology that actually works like you will see it...although some things are slightly scripted for marketing purposes. I guarantee you though it is technology that is working right now. We've had good camera recognition for a while but it's just now finally making it to video games in a playable fashion. I'll let the videos speak for themselves. Let's just say the Wii isn't such a big deal anymore:


Introducing Milo:

"Man Stroke Woman" - "Unspeakable Evil"

This is from a great (and sometimes British-style dirty) show on the BBC called "Man Stroke Woman". Some of the others get a bit dirty so I'll let you browse at your own will.

Parallel Parking

Uhhhhh......

Fake, yes. Funny, I think so.

Cardboard Box + Weed Whacker String = Upright Bass

Check out the impressive tone these guys get from a cardboard box! It's got a wooden neck and it uses weed whacker string. These are "mass" produced and come in 2 or 3 string varieties. No word on why they don't have a 4 string model yet.





My birthday is coming up in 4.5 months... just in time for Christmas! But how would you wrap it?
